At the IDF in San Francisco Intel has a trial demonstrated which the electricity generated from a glass of wine a processor and accelerometer know how to drive. Details of the arrangement were not disclosed, and it will, according to Intel still take a long time before the setup is ever used.
The proof-of-concept set-up of Intel consumes so little power that it may work on the chemical energy present in a glass of wine. The arrangement includes a processor with low power consumption and an accelerometer. How the setup exactly works, Intel has in the middle left.
From the demonstration fell only that in the glass of wine, two electrodes were placed. As soon as the wine was poured, the processor and accelerometer to life and was a flower on an e-inkscherm shown. In addition, live data coming from the accelerometer displayed on the screen.
Intel noted that it would still be years before this technique for practical applications to implement. According to the chipgigant proves the experiment is that little current is not per se little performance have to mean. The upcoming chips from Intel would be in the future so little electricity that they are powered could be by ‘the heat of our skin, by kamerlicht or a glass of wine,” said one Intel researcher.
In San Francisco, unveiled by Intel this week a new series of soc’s called Intel Quark. Compared to the Intel Atom, the Quark-cpu only one-fifth of the dimensions and asks the one-tenth of the energy.
